Peter M Need Help! Getting killed by my rentals!
16 February 2008 | 15 replies
If your manager gets a nice big fee for every tenant he finds and signs up, and if you have constant turnover, then there is a very good chance your manager is churning the tenants: deliberately renting to people that he knows won't stay, so he can get another fee for signing up the next tenant.It would be unusual for all your different managers to be doing it, though.I've seen managers (a lot of managers) who are too lazy to screen, and they will get a troublemaker in the building who drives the other tenants out.I've also seen managers who over-charge for all the repairs, and even bill for repairs that were never done.When your buildings are spread all over the country like that, it is difficult to keep an eye on all of them.
